A View to Kill For
(2026)(The first book in the Belle Isle Cozy Bookstore Mystery series)
A novel by Stephanie Andrews
Kate Caldwell came home to save her family’s bookstore.
She didn’t expect to be accused of murder.
With the shop on the brink of collapse, a hostile developer circling the property, and money missing, Kate already has more than enough problems—until one of Belle Isle’s most divisive figures turns up dead.
And Kate is the one the town is looking at.
With suspicion closing in and no one willing to tell the whole truth, Kate must untangle a web of secrets before the bookstore—and her freedom—are lost.
✔ A small-town mystery with real stakes
✔ A reluctant sleuth, a loyal golden retriever, and a hint of second-chance romance
✔ Bookish charm, hidden secrets, and no graphic violence
A dead body. A failing bookstore. A town full of secrets.
Welcome to Belle Isle.
